Bricasti M3 In the house


Just got a Bricasti M3 with the Ethernet renderer module. Looking forward to breaking this piece in. First impressions are: it’s a winner. I am curious what ways folks who have this DAC (or other Bricasti models) run it; over ethernet or USB? I will report my findings as the days tick by; Right now it’s cooking on ethernet out of my InnuOs Zenith MKIII into an ether-regen into the M3;
Thanks!

Hello All, I wanted to see how everyone who's owned the M3 for awhile now feels about it. I've been using a Sonore Signature Rendu SE System Optique Bridge/Streamer feeding a Aqua Audio La Scala MKII Optologic DAC via USB for about a year. I stream FLAC and DSD files stored on my NAS to the Sonore using Roon. The combination sounds very good and I'm pretty happy with the setup but I'd love to get the USB link out of the system. I'd love to have a streaming DAC that sounds as good, or better, than the Sonore/Aqua pairing. I owned a PS Audio DSD with the Bridge 2 but was not happy with the sound. I also owned a Lampizator Amber 3 before upgrading to the Aqua Audio La Scala MKII Optologic DAC. Anyway, I'm very curious about the M3. Please let me know you're impressions of the M3 and, if you would, the other DACs you've compared it to. Thx.
